house, which is in lane about half mile from tho
main road through the town. heard wagon pass the
house, going into the swamp which is about halt
mile beyond. This is the largest cedar swamp in the
State being four miles long and two miles wide.
Duriag the twenty years that Mr.. johnson has lived
there, this is the first time wagon was ever known

wagon and sorrel horse. 1t driven by largo
man, dressed in dark overcoat and wearing dark

his features could not be discerned. Mr.. johnson
went into the swamp the next morning. and found that
